Like Man New Made

The Peanut family is being blessed by a visit from Grandma and Grandad Peanut. The littles are very excited, and many tea parties are being hosted and games are being played. We are all tuckered out from such activities, and so I leave you with a Shakespearean quote, appropriate for the season of Lent:

ANGELO

Your brother is a forfeit of the law,
And you but waste your words.

ISABELLA

Alas, alas!
Why, all the souls that were were forfeit once;
And He that might the vantage best have took
Found out the remedy. How would you be,
If He, which is the top of judgment, should
But judge you as you are? O, think on that;
And mercy then will breathe within your lips,
Like man new made.

Measure for Measure Act 2, Scene 2
